we heard nancy pelosi, democratic leader say she hopes president obama stands firm. that his campaign pledge was that anybody making more than $250,000 should have their tax rates go up to the bush era tax levels. but it sounds like there is room for negotiation. do you believe that democrats should give up on the $250,000 and say go with a million dollars if that will help strike a deal? >> well, i'm willing to compromise. i'm not that -- interested in going up to a million dollars. although i don't think a person is wealthy at $250,000. but i think that the president has got to work a deal and we've got to be flexible. let me just be very, very clear. if the president came and said that he struck a deal with boehner and mcconnell to go up to a million dollars, i would not be a happy person. however, i would go and have many conversations with myself and talk to myself about the fact that compromise is not necessarily capitulation. and that democracy requires compromise. we've not had democracy in many ways over the past four years because people believe that you kn

nancy pelosi went on "this week" to talk about the tax-raising issue. here she is. >> you cannot go forward -- you have to cut some investments if you cut too many you are hampering growth education, and investment in the future so just to close loopholes is far too little money. if it's going to bring in revenue, the president has been very clear that the higher-income people have to pay their fair share. >> john: not only has he been clear about this. he was clear about it in 2008. barack obama ran in 2008 just like bill clinton ran in '92, saying -- all barack obama wanted to do was to let the bush tax cuts for the wealthy expire right? so number 1, the american people voted for this so barack obama has run on this twice, and he didn't get it done in the first term, but don't ever forget this is not obama's tax increase this is bush's tax increase my friends, this minor three-point hike was supposed to go into effect in 2010 the bush tax cuts were designed to run for ten years and then expire it's bush's tax increase, nobody else's and really where i
